Apache Ant is a Java library and command-line tool whose mission is to drive processes described in build files as targets and extension points dependent upon each other. The main known usage of Ant is the build of Java applications. Ant supplies a number of built-in tasks allowing to compile, assemble, test and run Java applications. Ant can also be used effectively to build non Java applications, for instance C or C++ applications. More generally, Ant can be used to pilot any type of process which can be described in terms of targets and tasks.

protobuf是google旗下的一款平台无关，语言无关，可扩展的序列化结构数据格式。所以很适合用做数据存储和作为不同应用，不同语言之间相互通信的数据交换格式，只要实现相同的协议格式即同一proto文件被编译成不同的语言版本，加入到各自的工程中去。这样不同语言就可以解析其他语言通过protobuf序列化的数据。目前官网提供了C++,Python,JAVA,GO等语言的支持。
